Isla felt that her son had changed a lot, but she didn't ask too many questions.
She had been lying in the hospital for almost a year. It was normal for Murray to change due to suffering.
She didn't ask about Nat's situation, so as not to hurt Murray's heart.
Back at the rental house, Murray paid the rent to the landlord and then moved out with his mother overnight.
In addition to avoiding harassment by online lending companies, there was also the need to avoid retaliation by Omar and the others.
Murray had the strength and confidence to protect himself, but his mother could be knocked down by a gust of wind.
Murray rented a single room in Yitucheng Village of Whitestone Continent for his mother to recuperate temporarily.
Isla was in good health. They were less stressed about medical expenses, but Murray was not relaxed because he still owed a lot of online loans.
Moreover, Murray was still thinking about finding his adoptive father Nat. Whether he was dead or alive, there always required a conclusion.
"Ring!" On the morning of the fifth day after being discharged from the hospital, Isla's health improved a lot, and she could take care of herself.
Murray turned on his cell phone, which had been off for five days, and dozens of text messages flooded in.
Then, a call came in.
Murray put on earplugs to answer the call, and soon a woman's cold voice came, "Finally turned on the phone?
"I thought you were missing with the money.
"These days, your phone is off, messages have not been answered, and you are not seen at home. What on earth have you been doing?
"If you don't want to stay in the Thrussell family, get out of here."
It's Freya.
Murray hurriedly explained, "I'm sorry. I'm staying with my mother these days. She has just been discharged from the hospital and needs someone to take care of her.
"The phone was turned off because the debt collection agencies were calling 24 hours a day. I was worried that she would be worried, so I turned it off temporarily," He asked softly, "What do you want to see me for?"
Although he had been looked down on in the Thrussell family this year, Murray knew that he had no right to get angry. After all, it was the Thrussell family that gave him 75,000 dollars as life-saving money.
Hearing that Murray was taking care of Isla, Freya's voice softened slightly, "Send me your location and I will drive to pick you up."
Murray was slightly surprised, "Are you back from your trip?"
A week ago, the five members of the Thrussell family went on a trip abroad together, leaving Murray alone to look after the house.
"Don't you understand what I'm saying?
"Send me your location," Freya hung up the phone impatiently.
Murray could only send the location.
"Woo!" Half an hour later, a red BMW stopped in front of Murray.
The car door opened, and a dazzling beauty appeared.
The woman was dressed in black, with a delicate face, snow-white skin, and a cool temperament, yet sexy.
Especially a pair of snow-white legs, slender, round, and full of temptation when walking.
Many passers-by's eyes suddenly widened and their breathing became invisibly rapid.
It's Freya Thrussell.
The most beautiful woman in Midsea and also Murray's wife.
"You are such a filial son for renting such a lousy place to your mother," Freya was sarcastic towards Murray as always, but she still took out a few bags of bird's nests and ginseng and handed them over, "These are the supplements I bought for your mother. Let her raise the body.
"Isn't your mother going to have surgery?
"Why did you return the money?" She threw a bank card over, "The Thrussell family has already spent more than 85,000 dollars on you. We don't care about this 15,000 dollars."
Murray hurriedly waved his hand, "There is no need. She's much better and doesn't need surgery anymore…" "Just take it. Leave it to her whether or not there is need" Freya interrupted Murray bluntly, "Lest you borrow money everywhere and embarrass yourself and the Thrussell family.
"Don't show any backbone to me. If you had the backbone, you wouldn't be the live-in son-in-law of the Thrussell family, and also take 1,500 dollars from me for medical expenses every month," There was a hint of contempt in her tone. Murray's refusal at this time to maintain his so-called dignity was just pretentious.
Murray was shocked by Freya's words, but when he wanted to throw the bank card back, Freya had already gotten into the car.
Murray could only speak while holding the supplements and bank card, "Thank you, are father and mother back?"
Freya's voice was always cold, "What does it have to do with you whether they come back or not?
"Bring the things to your mother quickly, I have something to tell you."
Murray didn't say anything more, took the things to his mother's rental house, then informed his mother and left.
"Woo!" As soon as Murray got into the passenger seat, Freya stepped on the accelerator and left.
Murray couldn't help but sway, and accidentally touched Freya's thigh with his left hand.
Smooth and delicate.
At the same time, a piece of information appeared in Murray's mind.
Status: Evil spirit has entered the body, bad luck is lingering, causing harm to relatives and friends, death threats…
Cause: The Buddha amulet obtained from overseas travel had been attached with black magic…
Repair or destroy?
Murray wanted to command repairing it, but before he could think of it, Freya's eyes were already cold.
Murray quickly moved away from the hand that was harassing her.
He wanted to help Freya remove the evil spirit, but repairing it required physical contact, and Freya would never let him touch her.
So he could only kindly remind, "Freya, your ophryon is dark, your momentum is weak, and you are in danger of bleeding. You need to find a master to remove it…" Freya sneered, "We haven't seen each other for a few days. You have become more capable. You learned how to read people's faces?"
Murray said awkwardly, "No, you are really haunted by evil spirits. Someone attached black magic to you when you were traveling…"
"Do you have a Buddhist amulet on you?" He reeled off Freya's situation.
"Shut up! You are the one who is plagued by evil spirits, and you are the one who is in danger of bleeding," Freya was filled with shame and anger, "I'm in good health. If you curse me again, get out of here."
Murray said helplessly, "I really didn't curse you…"
"If not, just shut up," Freya's eyes were sharp, "You don't know anything but speak recklessly. You, who only know how to cook, know how to read people's faces?"
Murray shut up.
Seeing that Murray didn't say anything, Freya became even more angry. Murray was not only incompetent but also cowardly. How could he be useful?
However, a flash of doubt flashed in her heart. How did Murray know that she had a Buddhist amulet?
After all, she kept it in her bosom. Could it be that this bastard was spying on her and then using it to deceive her?
That must be the case.
Freya made a judgment, and then her pretty face became even more disappointed.
Murray was not only incompetent, but also a pervert.
"Murray, this month, when I finish my work, I will divorce you," Freya's eyes were firmer than ever, "Whether you object or not, I will divorce you."
A year ago, the Thrussell family was in bad luck. Freya was also seriously ill, so she wanted to marry Murray to counteract bad luck.
Over the past year, the Thrussell family's bad luck had dissipated and Freya's health had improved. The Thrussell family had been thinking about discarding Murray, who was just an encumbrance.
Everyone in the Thrussell family disliked Murray.
Freya's pity for Murray also turned into disgust. She saw no value in this man.
When he heard about the divorce, Murray still didn't say anything, but his eyes became gloomy.
He was really a street rat.
"Do you know why father and mother, brother-in-law, and others are all disappointed in you?
"It's not because you don't have money or because you are a live-in son-in-law, but because you are too cowardly and useless.
"In the past year, you have never done anything useful except doing housework. You are so cowardly and incompetent.
"I really don't want to spend my life with a man like you, even if you are just a tool used by the Thrussell family for counteracting bad luck.
"Don't worry, I will give you another 75,000 dollars when we get divorced.
"This way, you don't have to worry that your mother doesn't have medical expenses," Freya's voice was emotionless, "Let's depart on good terms. Don't make me completely look down on you."
Departing on good terms?
A flash of pain flashed across Murray's eyes.
He vaguely remembered that snowy evening, the little girl with braids and red clothes, the little girl who saved him with a bag of barbecued pork buns.
Although eighteen years passed by, Murray still remembered that girl's face and her kindness.
This was also the biggest reason why he was willing to marry her and counteract the bad luck.
75,000 dollars was important, but more importantly, Murray wanted to repay her kindness.
Otherwise, he would have sold himself for more than 75,000 dollars.
Murray sighed in his heart, "Maybe it's time to let go…" "Did you hear that?" Seeing Murray's dazed expression, Freya said with exasperation, "I want to divorce you…"
"Whoosh!" Before she completely finished talking, Murray, who was silent at first, twitched his ears and sat upright.
He leaned against Freya, suppressing Freya's movements with huge force.
The next second, he turned the steering wheel with his left hand and pressed her slender thigh with his right hand.
The BMW, which was about to stop at the intersection waiting for the green light, accelerated and shot out like a sharp arrow.
"Murray!" Freya screamed, "Are you crazy?"
"Boom!"
As soon as the car reached the other side, a dump truck swept over and hit six cars in a row, leaving the road shattered.
Screams broke out.
Freya pushed Murray away, stepped on the brakes, and turned around to look.
The ground was bloody.
